In fact as soon as they hit a certain age every few days they will say "I want you to meet my friends mom" and someone will show up at your door. In fact I have met all my friends the last 14 years just this way alone and have kept in touch with all of them. You will see, just hang in there.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153847712814391815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463759060882042606.post-22551554669831649632012-07-26T16:27:07.677-04:002012-07-26T16:27:07.677-04:00My 3 year old is constantly asking if his 'fri...My 3 year old is constantly asking if his 'friends' can come over. And is thoroughly sad if there are no kids at the park. I think they love us, but miss their peers! So I will be grateful when preschool starts up again and playing with Mommy at home is good enough ;) I am glad you will be near family soon!Kate @ Daffodilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014407841272156153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463759060882042606.post-75742725723580190832012-07-26T14:58:06.340-04:002012-07-26T14:58:06.340-04:00As a fellow introvert I can sympathize!

I've been going to MOPS the past few years which has made it easier to connect with other moms who have kids similar in age. Best of luck to you at your new destination!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363122128573657444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463759060882042606.post-6635237111487319482012-07-26T11:27:08.737-04:002012-07-26T11:27:08.737-04:00I've never had a tough time making new friends...I've never had a tough time making new friends until I became a military wife. It's tough! I force myself to go over to my husband's work friends' houses. It'll be great for Ryan to be near his family. Cousins are the best!Joslinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308827532517121836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463759060882042606.post-22215920888055460572012-07-26T09:59:51.620-04:002012-07-26T09:59:51.620-04:00Shelley, some of what you said in this post is the...Shelley, some of what you said in this post is the essence of why I started blogging. I struggled for years to get beyond myself and find friendship, but I knew that my children needed it so I took a huge plunge and forced the issue. The beginning of my blog is basically documenting some of the insecurities and ways that I eventually got around them because I had to for the kids. It's been such a blessing for all of us. Granted, we have family around, but it's very much enhanced our lives to have found new friends for me and for them. You can do it! And quite honestly as you get farther into school, friends will come with the territory. It won't feel like such an effort because it will happen naturally. It all works itself out in the end :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453341063690830681noreply@blogger.com
